LB2120 4G Modem on Visible prepaid cellular
Have been using this modem with T-Mobile for several months and it works great! I just purchased the budget Android phone, the Visible R2, and activated this new phone from Visible, a Verizon prepai...
APN Name: Verizon Visible; APN: vsblinteret; Authentication: None; PDP: IPV4; Roaming:IPV4
Note: APN is case sensitive. The APN name is not significant. I now have 2 mobile phone accounts but have not switched the modem yet from T-Mobile to Visible. TM seems tolerant with monthly usage of 50-75gb, fear Vis may not. Plan is to start Vis for the modem soon. 3 things to consider: (1) modem is serviced as a Hot Spot, limited to 5mbits up/down (2) international travel is not supported, cases where Sim card is back in phone. (3) if you have an iPhone 6 or later good to go. Android support is meager. For me, I chose the $99 Visible R2.

Perfect, thanks! 5mbps seems better than everyone else's 128kbps-600kbps. I'll test their data tolerance pretty heavily, too, but for $20 for the first month, I'll give it a shot.
I have this same question, what's the deal with it suddenly stopping? Is it possible to spoof the IMEI of one of Visible's "approved" devices?
Can anyone else who is using this modem to connect with Visible confirm that their service suddenly stopped working with the modem or is this just area specific?
